Imagine someone gave you these three things: the opportunity to change the future of education, the autonomy to manage and grow your own territory, and all the necessary tools to be successful. If a job that combines all three of those things interests you, you may be a fit for our Sales Representative role here at Top Hat!
As a Sales Rep, you will be assigned a territory of colleges and universities where you’ll have the autonomy to develop professional relationships with professors, demonstrate the value of our platform and products, and convert them into clients. You will add value by working with professors to enhance their teaching methods and help bring the educational experience into the future. To do this, you will show how our products help both students and professors engage in the classroom experience and how they enable better learning outcomes. In essence, you will be making education better for students: one professor, one classroom, and one school at a time.
This in-territory sales representative position requires approximately 40%-50% of your time to be spent on campus annually. During the sales seasons (approximately mid-January through May and mid-August through mid-December), you may spend up to 75% of your time on campus. You will be responsible for travelling to campuses within your territory to prospect professors.
Due to the travel requirements, we are only considering local candidates located within the Greater Denver area.

You will find, create, facilitate, and close new business opportunities in your assigned accounts.
Represent and sell the full suite of Top Hat and approved partner products and services, including Top Hat’s digital textbook content and SaaS platform.
Effectively position & message Top Hat’s value proposition to professors or department leaders, using a mixture of inside and outside sales techniques.
You will work closely with Customer Success Managers and internal product and marketing partners to ensure a great customer experience for professors and to maximize revenue growth.
Who You Are:
You have a Bachelor's degree. You are highly motivated, achievement-oriented and excited to join a team that is driving change in higher education!
You have 2+ years of experience in a sales role. Experience selling to professors in person on campus is highly preferred.
This role requires 40-50% (up to 75%) of your time travelling to campuses for in-person sales. A valid Driver’s License is required.
